14202 there
14203 be

14227 Austin
14228 develops
14229 the
14230 concept
14231 of
14232 a
14233 useful
14234 fiction
14235 a
14236 simple
14237 narrative
14238 that
14239 serves

14254 these
14255 useful
14256 fictions
14257 play
14258 a
14259 key
14260 role

14266 that
14267 humans
14268 can

14280 for
14281 this
14282 purpose
14283 Austin
14284 suggests
14285 provided
14286 a
14287 cognitive
14288 scaffold
14289 that
14290 might
14291 have
14292 become
14293 the
14294 basis
14295 for
14296 our
